Chu Fei did not expect that he would hear such words.
Ning Nuan's question came suddenly. Even before the two of them left the inn, Ning Nuan had just walked out of the house when he bumped into him coming upstairs. The two of them were just standing at the corner of the stairs of the inn. It's just that the inn was quiet today, and now the time is just right, and there was no one upstairs and downstairs, so no one heard.
Chu Fei was flustered.
He didn't have time to think about what Ning Nuan meant by asking these words, and he didn't have time to think about Ning Nuan's question. She just subconsciously began to worry about her, for fear that her words would be heard and her boudoir reputation would be ruined.
If it was before, Chu Feiba couldn't let everyone know that Ning Nuan had a good relationship with him, but now that he had finished talking with Jiang Yunlan, he was a little sad, and he didn't dare to talk to Ning Nuan.
It seemed that as soon as they talked, he couldn't help but start to think, whether A Nuan in his previous life hated him or not, just thinking about it for a while, he felt that his internal organs were aching. I was worried that she would say something stinging in the next moment.
But now, Ning Nuan didn't say anything, just stared at him with dark eyes, waiting for his answer.
Chu Fei reacted for a long time before finally reacting, and Ning Nuan just asked herself something.
He came back to his senses and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
How could he say that he pursued so fiercely because Ning Nuan in his previous life was a husband and wife? That feeling is there, and it comes from the previous life, but it is not produced in this life.
"Isn't the lord unable to tell?" Ning Nuan waited for a long time, but did not wait for his answer. There was a bit of disappointment in her eyes, but her voice was still soft: "Your Highness can't tell, and it took a lot of time to rush to Qingzhou from the capital."
"No." Chu Fei hurriedly defended: "It's not that I can't tell."
"Then the lord, let's talk about it." Ning Nuan's voice was even softer: "I've known the lord for so long, but I have never heard the lord talk about this."
Where is it not mentioned
When he and A Nuan were married, he had spoken to her several times, which time did A Nuan not feel very happy when he heard it? That happy and shy look made him look really cute.
Chu Fei couldn't help but smile again.
He whispered: "Ms. Ning's country is beautiful, this king is very happy when he sees it."
"Your Highness doesn't seem to be such a superficial person." Ning Nuan said: "There are many girls in the world who are better-looking than me. As a Lord, I have seen all the good-looking girls, how could I just ignore them because of this. How about chasing the land from the capital to Qingzhou?"
Chu Fei didn't answer directly, but asked, "Miss Ning doesn't like to talk to me on weekdays, so why would you ask me such a question now?"
"Your Majesty still can't tell?"
Why can't you tell
It's just that Chu Fei didn't dare to tell her.
He avoided answering, and added, "It would be better if a girl in Chu would answer me first, and then I would answer Miss Ning's question."
"… "
Ning Nuan looked at him quietly.
After a long time, she said, "Then it's better to find a suitable place, I will talk to the prince slowly."
Chu Fei naturally agreed.
The two left the inn, went to a teahouse in Qingzhou, and asked for a private private room, each with their own servants and maids. Ning Nuan put on men's clothes, and others couldn't see anything.
But sitting in the private room, Chu Fei didn't know how to tell him.
Ning Nuan reached out and picked up the teapot, wanting to pour tea for the two of them, but Chu Fei quickly snatched the teapot over, poured a cup for each of them, and then pushed the cup in front of Ning Nuan.
Ning Nuan lowered her eyes and looked at the green tea leaves floating in the cup, but it happened to be the one she liked to drink. Just now this refreshment was also ordered by An Wang.
"What does the lord want to say?" Ning Nuan said: "Now that I have followed the words of the lord, and sat here, the lord should tell me."
"Why don't you tell me first why you suddenly asked this king this question."
Ning Nuan said.
"My mother... I've always dealt with the lord very little, and the lord knows it."
Chu Fei nodded.
"It's just that I'm really weird. The lord is the younger brother of the sage. How noble is his status. He was put down by his mother several times, and in the end he didn't say anything." Ning Nuan said: "Although I know that the lord is a good person, But the mother has offended the lord several times, even if the lord is kind, he will never let her go like this."
Chu Fei nodded: "So what?"
Ning Nuan glanced at her, and then said again, "If you were someone else, would your lord do the same thing?"
Of course not.
If anyone can ride on his head, he is the prince, the younger brother of the current emperor, where should the royal face be put
"If that's the case, then why does the lord treat his mother favorably?" Ning Nuan paused, and then whispered, "If my guess is correct, did my mother send someone to beat the lord?"
Chu Fei: "..."
Chu Fei smiled bitterly: "It was actually discovered by you."
The people his mother-in-law called were not at all relentless. Everyone in the capital knew that King An had been sacked in the street, and even the people in the palace let him go into the palace to ask a few questions. It wasn't because he tried desperately to stop him, I'm afraid Jiang Yunlan would have been discovered by now.
"Why do you have to endure it, lord?"
"..." Chu Fei was silent.
Ning Nuan said again, "Could it be because of me?"
"No." Chu Fei: "Don't think too much."
"Then the prince and his mother, did they ever have any entanglements?"
"… never had."
"That… "
Chu Fei interrupted her: "I didn't care about Ning Lang's face because of it. No matter what, he is my friend."
Ning Nuan said again, "If that's the case, how did Wang Ye cut off contact with his brother?"
"… "
Chu Fei: "Why did we cut off communication?"
"Before, my brother only had the prince as a friend. Later, I don't know since when, when my brother talked about the prince in front of me, he never said anything good. Even now, my brother helps the prince and still doesn't say anything to the prince. What a good face." Of course Ning Nuan knew that it was because his brother had a mysterious dream. "But brother is so rude, why can Wangye hold back?"
"… "
"Why doesn't your lord speak again?"
"… "
Chu Fei still didn't know what to say.
He just denied it just now, saying that it wasn't because of Ning Nuan. Could it be that he was going to slap himself in the face now
She didn't speak, so Ning Nuan had no choice but to continue.
"It's really strange. The lord should know. My mother and brother are not willing to let me get close to the lord. On weekdays, whatever the lord sends will be blocked by my mother. But my mother and brother made These are actually because of a dream."
Chu Fei couldn't help sitting up straight: "Dream?"
"Yeah." Ning Nuan didn't seem to notice his reaction, and continued: "My mother said that the prince in her dream treated me badly, so she didn't want me to interact with the prince... These words, I should not talk to the prince. The lord said it." Ning Nuan said, a little annoyed, as if she was unhappy that she lost her words.
But how could Chu Fei take care of this. He didn't understand what Jiang Yunlan meant, what was a dream, it was clearly their previous life.
He reluctantly said calmly: "How can I take things in my dreams seriously."
"That's true." Ning Nuan said, "My mother also said that the prince in the dream went to ask for the emperor's decree... But in fact, there is nothing in the dream that is the same as reality."
Just as Chu Fei was about to nod his head, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He suddenly raised his head to look at Ning Nuan, and Ning Nuan's eyes met. Ning Nuan blinked, as if he didn't understand why he was so excited, tilted his head, with a bit of doubt on his face.
Where is the doubt!
He was almost cheated by A Nuan.
He said it was very strange. A Nuan has always abide by the rules of etiquette and will not do anything out of the norm. She tries to stay away from him as much as possible on weekdays. Even if she accepts his invitation and is willing to go out of the city with him, she is already very bold. In such a place, say such private words with him.
A Nuan even told the details of the dream. She is a girl who has not left the cabinet. She is very good. How dare she say who she married in the dream? These words were extremely bold, and with Chu Fei's understanding of her, it was naturally very wrong.
To be able to say this, Ah Nuan must have discovered something.
Chu Fei lowered his head again, took a sip from the teacup, and said sullenly, "Just say what you want to ask."
Ning Nuan smiled, but there was still only one question: "The lord said he likes me, but why do you like me?"
Chu Fei considered for a moment before saying, "I also had a dream."
Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, and then heard him continue: "You may not believe it, but I also had a dream. In the dream, you and I are husband and wife."
"… "
Before Ning Nuan said anything, Xiang Tao shouted, "Don't offend our lady!"
Chu Fei said helplessly, "Mrs. Mingming also had the same dream, why didn't you tell me?"
Xiang Tao said angrily: "Our wife said that you are not allowed to communicate with the young lady, and you still have such a dream, isn't it offensive?!"
Chu Fei didn't want to talk to her, turned to look at Ning Nuan, and still said: "I said, Miss Ning may not believe it, but I think that I had the same dream as Mrs. Ning."
"… "
Ning Nuan was silent for a while before saying, "Is this the reason the lord gave me?"
Chu Fei nodded.
"Just because I had a dream, did the lord give me such a reason?"
Chu Fei nodded.
Ning Nuan looked at him with a bit of disappointment in his eyes: "Then what the lord likes, is it the me in the dream, or the me sitting in front of the lord now?"
Chu Fei thought to himself: Is there any difference
No matter in this life or the previous life, A Nuan is A Nuan, and there has never been any difference.
"The dream that the prince had was different from reality. Maybe the love that the prince said was different from what I thought in my heart."
Chu Fei was taken aback.
He raised his head, and Ning Nuan also got up and stood up. She blessed Chu Feifu, took out a letter from her arms, and put it on the table.
"Your Majesty only thinks that the girl has never asked anything today. Today's matter is that the girl has violated the rules. I hope the lord will forgive me, don't take it to heart."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Even Xiang Tao was stunned for a moment. She turned her head and looked at Chu Fei before reacting, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Miss! Wait!"
Chu Fei hurriedly stood up and wanted to pull someone, but Ning Nuan walked quickly, without stopping for a moment, the figure disappeared in front of the door in a blink of an eye, he tripped over the leg of the table, and stumbled back to his seat. on the chair.
"Your Highness?" Wang Quan said worriedly, "Why don't you try to chase Miss Ning back?"
Chu Fei didn't say a word, just picked up the letter that Ning Nuan had put on the table.
He opened the letter, and it turned out that he had written it to Ning Nuan earlier. After returning from the street that day, he secretly placed the twelve-sided lantern in Ning's conservatory and wrote in the letter that this lantern was a gift to his sweetheart. .
He never expected that A Nuan still kept this, and now it is returned to him intact.
What A Nuan meant was clearly that she was unwilling to admit that she was his sweetheart.
Chu Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Your Highness?" Wang Quan called out again, "Miss Ning can go far."
Chu Fei took the letter in his arms and said tiredly, "Go back."
Wang Quan glanced at him hesitantly, but didn't say anything in the end, and followed behind him step by step. When the two of them left the restaurant, they wanted to settle the bill, but the shopkeeper said that the money in their private room had already been paid by the previous son.
Wang Quan didn't even know what to do.
On the way back, he saw Chu Fei looking unhappy, and he was even more puzzled: "The lord clearly likes Miss Ning, and it's not like the lord said that he had a strange dream, and the servant looked at it. , Miss Ning's meaning is clearly also interested in the prince, why is the prince not willing to tell the truth to girl Ning?"
"What should the king say?"
"You can say what the lord thinks in your heart." Wang Quan said, "The servant has been with the lord for so many years, but there is no one who understands the mind of the lord better than the servant. Although the lord had a crush on Miss Ning before, it was because he was jealous. I had an idea, but what the lord did later was just like what Miss Ning just said. The lord didn't even care about being beaten by Mrs. Ning for the sake of Miss Ning, and he was embarrassed by Young Master Ning several times, and he even chased him all the way to Qingzhou. The servant has never seen the prince so tempted by a girl. The prince doesn't like Miss Ning, what is it?"
Chu Fei was disappointed.
"But is she blaming me in her heart?"
Wang Quan was puzzled: "Why does Miss Ning blame the prince? Did the prince do anything to make you feel sorry for Ning?"
How not
When he was reminded by Jiang Yunlan, he finally realized it. Perhaps before A Nuan died, he regretted it like he did. He regretted that he didn't know people well, that he had let down A Nuan's heart, and let her be assassinated. What about Anuan? Maybe A Nuan also regretted, regretted marrying him, regretted having his child, regretted that he died early because of him.
If it was not him but A Nuan who was reborn, maybe A Nuan would have fled far away and never wanted to see him again.
Realizing this, Chu Fei dared not answer Ning Nuan's question.
What should he say? I liked you in my last life? And in your last life, you suffered so much
Chu Fei returned to the inn with a sad face. When he passed by the door of Ning Nuan's house, he stopped, and he did nothing and went straight back to his house.
Who knew that as soon as he entered, he saw a lantern on the table.
The candles in the lantern have long since burned out, and the appearance is still very delicate. It seems to be well kept by the owner. The lantern has twelve sides, and pictures are drawn on each side. As long as the painting is replaced with a new candle, it can be hung again, as dazzling as when it was first seen.
Chu Fei was stunned for a moment, and immediately said sharply, "Someone!"
A man dressed in black and covering his face immediately appeared beside him.
Chu Fei pointed at the lantern and asked, "Where did this come from?"
The man in black dodged his eyes and said, "It was just... from Miss Fang Caining..."
Chu Fei was shocked: "Why did she send this back?"
"Miss Ning didn't say anything, and only asked her subordinates to hand this over to the prince." The man in black said, "Miss Ning gave her orders, but her subordinates didn't dare to obey."
Chu Fei finally panicked.
…
Over there, Ning Nuan didn't say a word along the way and went back to his room. Xiangtao didn't dare to talk to her all the way, until she entered the house, looked around, and saw that Jiang Yunlan was not there, did she finally dare to talk to her: "Miss?"
"What's up?"
"What exactly do you mean by what you just said to King An?" Xiangtao was puzzled: "I listen to you, will I not pay attention to King An in the future?"
Ning Nuan didn't say a word, just pulled out a miscellaneous note bought in Qingzhou City from his luggage and read it.
After reading it for a while, she closed the book again in annoyance and wandered around the room, not knowing what to do.
Xiang Tao followed her step by step, no matter what she did, her eyes were fixed on her without blinking. Ning Nuan was tired of following him, so he sat down at the table.
Xiang Tao said again tentatively, "The words that Miss said to King An earlier were really bold and..."
Where has she seen their young lady look so bold
Their young ladies have always been aware of the etiquette and will not violate the rules in the slightest, but today she said such a bold thing, she told An Wang in person, and she was already shocked when she listened to it. If they hadn't known that their young lady had nothing to do with An Wang, she would have almost thought that their young lady had secretly communicated with An Wang.
Open mouth likes to shut up likes, even talking about dreaming.
It wasn't that King An stalked their young lady, but their young lady took the initiative to ask King An for his opinion.
Xiang Tao has been with her for several years, and she can be considered to understand her temperament.
"Miss?"
"You are also not allowed to mention that person to me again." Ning Nuan said, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to mention a word."
Xiang Tao opened her mouth, and then came down.
Come on, now I still use "that person" to address King An, not even by his first name.
Ning Nuan picked up the Qingzhou Miscellany and read it again.
She looked at it for a long time, and suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the window outside. Ning Nuan was stunned for a moment, only for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses and continued to read the miscellaneous notes in his hand, just pretending that he didn't hear anything.
Xiang Tao looked at her, but did not get up to open the window.
The sound of knocking on the window rang for a long time before it finally stopped. After a while, there was a rustling sound coming from the door, this time without Ning Nuan saying anything, Xiang Tao got up and walked over.
She came back with a letter in her hand.
"Miss, someone stuffed this in."
Ning Nuan glanced at the envelope and knew who sent it.
"Burned."
Xiang Tao was surprised and turned around to deal with it.
It was still broad daylight, and there were no candles in the house. It was really troublesome to find the source of the fire, so it took a lot of effort.
When Xiangtao lit the fire, and was about to approach the letter, she suddenly heard Ning Nuan's voice: "Wait."
Xiang Tao hurriedly stopped.
Ning Nuan put down the miscellaneous notes and said, "Show me that letter."
Xiang Tao hurriedly handed it over.
Ning Nuan took it over and took a look, and it really was the handwriting of King An. She knew it in her heart, and immediately removed it.
There is still a lot of content in the letter, there are quite a few sheets of paper, Ning Nuan patiently read it from beginning to end.
King An seemed to have come to his senses at this moment, and finally answered the question that Ning Nuan asked him.
He said it in great detail in the letter, starting from the first time he met Ning Nuan, and then when the two got along, he talked about everything. Some things, Ning Nuan has some impressions, and some things, she is very dazed, and she can't remember when she did it anyway.
After reading this, Ning Nuan felt even more at a loss.
But King An's letter was more than a little bit, and he also mentioned the dream he had.
Ning Nuan heard Jiang Yunlan and the others mentioned the content of the dream long ago, so he didn't find it strange when he saw it. It's just that An Wang still said many private things in the letter that even Jiang Yunlan didn't know.
He talked about his previous life, because of an imperial decree, Ning Nuan married into the palace. After that, he and Ning Nuan had a child in the palace, and she was assassinated during childbirth and died of hemorrhage. It's said that the child has also been poisoned.
In the letter, it became a dream.
Ning Nuan looked at it, but felt inexplicably worried, almost breathless, it was clearly a ridiculous thing, but she seemed to have experienced it seriously.
At the end, An Wang asked.
If she in the dream is who she is today, after encountering these things, will she regret marrying him.
This is also a very absurd question, and there is no feasibility that can be explored in depth.
But looking at Chu Fei's meaning in the letter, it seems that he is really deeply troubled by this matter, as if it is connected to today's problems, which is all for this reason.
Ning Nuan watched it for a long time before slowly putting down the letter in her hand.
"Miss?" Xiangtao asked tentatively, "The servant helped you burn the letter?"
"No." Ning Nuan said, "Bring me a pen and paper."
Xiang Tao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly did as she said.
After Xiang Tao brought the pen and paper to wear the ink for her, Ning Nuan thought and thought about the question that King An asked in the letter, and finally came up with a reply to King An.
She spread out the letter and thought for a while before picking up the pen and starting to write a reply to King An.
